Netflix Watch it Now...What do you guys think?

[ks3187]

I just finished watching the Breakfast Club, from the watch it now portion of netflix, and I must admit, I was pretty impressed. The quality was good, and there were no skips or blemishes, (I guess my internet connection may have something to do with it). Have any of you tried it? What's your thoughts? And does anybody know how often they add titles to the selction?

Cool, I'm gonna start using this shit now.

Maybe I'm retarded, but how do you access it? I can't find it.

[therealjohng]

The tabs at the top where "Friends/Queue" is at. Its the one that says Watch or Watch now.

[Le_Big_Mac]

I can't seem to find it either. It's no where near the "Friends" and "Queue" bars.

[therealjohng]

I wonder if they are adding it to people by little amounts. Ive only had it for a day now. So maybe you guys will get it soon. I hear by the end of the month everyone will have it.


Just watched SherryBaby on it. Have to say, it's a great addition to the site. Not once did I have a problem with playback. Great video quality.

I too haven't been able to access it. Hopefully I will be able to soon.

How big is it on your screen?

I'd say it was about a 1/3 of my screen with the choice to go to full screen, which I didn't do.


EDIT****


Take that back. It easily takes up more than half the screen. Probably 3/4. Wow, way off with that 1/3 remark.

I just installed it by finding it in the help section.

It fucking sucks,though, that it isn't compatible with Firefox.:mad: I have to have IE 6 or Windows Media Player 9 atleast.

[zombievictim]

Well I got it installed. I'll test it out tomorrow. Looks like I've got 15 hours of instant viewing for the month. Pretty good. I doubt I'll use it all since I don't usually like watching movies on the computer. But who knows, maybe this netflix thing will change my perspective.

[HeavyFknMetal]

I checked this thing like 2 weeks ago and it said it wasn't going to be released for me until June. Now I check and it says I have, how odd.

Sucks I have to open up Internet Explorer to use it. Everything should be compatible with Firefox.

[bankholdup]

Hmm...I have it but it's not at the top of the page like some of you guys. It says I need to use Internet Explorer, but I don't even have that anymore. Guess I'll be figuring that out tonight since I know nothing about computers. Here's hoping I don't erase all of my bookmarks!

[Tyler_Durden_208]

I finally have it now as well, but I'm kinda tentative about what to watch... I can't seem to find anything that scream "Watch me!" more than the stack of DVDs I have sitting here at home that I haven't watched...

[powersauce]

I tested it out with Chinatown but the fucking Paramount logo wouldn't show up.:( Even worse, I was put on hold 3 times by customer service trying to fix the problem before losing my fucking patience and hanging up.:mad:

Yeah the titles are'nt that good yet, except save for a few. The time I find it handy is when you're waiting for your next film from netflix.

[dman476]

That's it!
I'm pissed at that thing...it's absolutely retarded.

Forget that I need stupid Internet Explorer (which sucks and always has errors), dumbass Netflix whenever I want to see a good film says I need to free up about 800 MB, which I find utterly ridiculous since my hard drive has about 55 GB of free space. How does that make any sense?

Shit, screw this asshole system.

[HeavyFknMetal]

It's working fine for, even though I have to open up Internet Explorer. I've already watched 7 Days in September and The Cowboys.

Hopefully they'll be adding a lot more movies to it, and hopefully those fuckers will realize everything should be compatible with Firefox.

[therealjohng]

I'm loving this. I've watched two movies so far and nothing has gone wrong. Kudos to Netflix for doing this shit. Not a great selection, but I've had no problems with playback or pausing or anything.
